As a result, we often lose sight of what's truly important-the plays themselves. By focusing on those plays in several succinct, fluently written chapters, Richard McCoy reminds us of the spell-binding power inherent in works like Othello, As You Like It, and The Winter's Tale and shows …

  • The Winter's Tale and the Recovery of Faith

    Richard C MccoyCHAPTERFaith in Shakespeare2013

    When Paulina says, “It is required / You do awake your faith,” she addresses the audience as well as Leontes. Yet despite the play's supernatural atmospherics, the faith required remains “poetic faith,” sustained by the imagination. Leontes' jealousy shows how the imagination can lead to paranoia, despair, and bad faith, and he recoils from the prospect of playing a part, as does his daughter. By the conclusion both the imagination and play-actin…

  • Look upon me, Sir: Relationships inKing Lear

    Richard C MccoyARTICLERepresentations2003References: 7

    LOOK UP ON ME, SIR': Relationships in King Lear" explores some of the connections between current performance theory and early modern sacramental theology. Protestant reformers objected to "carnal fancies of a local presence," but, rather than regarding the sacraments as mere signs of things absent, they defined them as a "means effectual" for sustaining communion among the faithful. McCoy argues that Shakespeare's drama functions in similar ways…
